Portrait of Artists as Latino Immigrants

De Las Calles
Veronica Shamo-Garcia

This is the story of Manolo, a Latin American street kid, who sees hunger, prostitution, and drugs as a way of life, because for him and his mother it is the only life. A homeless man attempts to warn him about the dangers of the streets and the importance of his decisions, but he does not understand the warning until he finds himself, as an adult, warning another kid about life on the streets.
